Should the village find that a user, not subject to National Categorical Pretreatment Standards, does not meet Pretreatment standards and requirements applicable to its discharge, causes or contributes to a sewage treatment plant upset, or when analysis of waste or observation of the effect of such wastes on the POTW Works indicate that said wastes cannot be treated satisfactorily at such works, or that said wastes are injurious to the POTW works, or to the treatment processes, or pollute the natural waters within the village, its service areas or the Waters of the state. Additional pretreatment and/or operation and maintenance (hereinafter sometimes “O & M”) will be required by the village to meet pretreatment standards and requirements. Such facilities as the village may deem necessary for pretreatment of the wastes shall be furnished by and at the expense of the user as a condition of the discharge of said wastes into the POTW works or to any natural water within the village service area.
(A) Pretreatment review. The Pretreatment Coordinator will require the user to initiate a pretreatment review through a telephone call, letter or certified letter to the authorized representative of the user.
(B) Pretreatment initiation meeting. A pretreatment initiation meeting will be held between the Pretreatment Coordinator and the user to discuss the problem and the solution to said problem. If it determined that changes in operation and maintenance, plant modifications, and/or the installation of pretreatment equipment shall occur to resolve noncompliance, a schedule shall be established with events and completion deadlines agreeable to both parties to resolve the noncompliance. A Compliance Agreement defining the agreed upon schedule will be sent from the village to the user shortly after the meeting.
